How a Caterpillar
Turns into a Butterfly
Butterflies belong
to the group of animals called insects. Butterflies have four wings.
First the female
butterfly lays eggs on the bottom of a leaf. Then the eggs slowly hatch.
Next the caterpillar eats plants and flowers and it gets fatter and
fatter. Later the caterpillar finds a very safe place and it builds a
stable cocoon. Last of all he or she turns into a butterfly and dries
their wings.
After the female
lays their eggs the whole process starts again.

 How a Caterpillar
Turns into a Butterfly
Butterflies belong
to the group of animals called insects. All insects have six legs and
butterflies come in lots of colours, shapes and sizes.
First the female
butterfly lays eggs. Then the eggs slowly hatch. Next the caterpillar
eats leaves and annoys people and the caterpillar gets fatter and
fatter. Later the caterpillar goes to a quiet place and makes and builds
a brown cocoon. Last of all the caterpillar pushes it self out of the
cocoon and turns into a beautiful, spectacular butterfly.
Butterflies live in
lots of countries and have scales.

Today I
read a book called "The Pirate who Wouldn’t Wash". The author of the book
is Michael Salmon.
This
story is about Pongo and Captain Blacktooth. Pongo does not like water
or soap. Everyone held their noses. The pirates didn’t like the smell of
Pongo so they put him in the dark cave where the rats lived. They
couldn’t stand the smell of Pongo either so they swam off. Captain
Blacktooth tricked Pongo to go up a lookout called the crows nest.
Captain
Blacktooth had a meeting. The next day when Pongo climbed down they put
him in a bucket of soapy water. Then Pongo escaped from the pirates’
hands. He swam out. Captain Blacktooth loaded the cannons. The ship got
wrecked and was on fire. Pongo swam to a
lifeboat
and got in. There was a treasure chest at his feet. Boy, he was rich! He
used his money to buy pigs. He didn’t mind the pigs’ smell and the pigs
did not mind Pongo’s smell.
This book
was a great book. It was a funny book. I really liked it. I was happy
and laughing all they way through. I liked the part when Pongo jumped
out of the ship when it exploded.

Today I
read a book called "The Pirate who Wouldn’t Wash". The author of the book
is Michael Salmon.
This
story is about two pirates called Pongo and Captain Blacktooth. Pongo
would not go near water and he hated soap more than water. The pirates
did not like the smell of him. I know I wouldn’t. The pirates tried to
keep him away but it did not work. When he walked into the ship the next
day they shoved him in a barrel of water and soap. He ran around the
ship but the pirates cornered him at last. The captain said, “Wash
yourself or walk the plank.” BOOM! Another ship came in. SPLASH! went
Pongo into the sea. Pongo swam to a nearby boat. He found some money and
with that money he bought pigs– lots and lots of pigs. The pigs did not
mind the smell of Pongo.
I liked
this story because Pongo found something that he could do. I would like
to read it again.
